How to control Windows Media Player remotely using Java?

Question

this is the first time I´m posting something here.

I´m working on a Project where I want to control the Windows Media Player through different Input Modalities (like Multitouch, a 3D Mouse...). At the moment I´m trying to find a way to control the Windows Media Player remotely.

Write now I´m stuck on controlling the Player through a Java Program using the Jacob Library. It seems to be connecting to the WMP, but it does not execute my controls (Play in this case).

Does anybody have any experience with controlling the WMP remotely? My preferred language would be Java, do you know about an alternative/better way than using Jacob for the COM Bridge? Or do you know about a different approach, with which it would be easier to control the WMP? I have to keep in mind, that i will need to be able to read out the input from the different devices and make the device work with the control of the WMP.

I hope somebody can help me! thank you so much in advance!

您可能需要查看Windows Media Player SDK，并且为了远程控制它，您可能必须实现一个小客户端服务器应用程序 ，它为您执行远程控制工作。
